2FA App - Authy
There are many 2FA Apps, Microsoft, Google, Duo, etc. But I select Authy.
Pros
As an end user, I'm not the one looking at how secure a 2FA App is, it is only generating a code as expected. But I need to two major considerations as my experiences.
-
Backup - My phone was broken, then I lost all my codes, I don't even remember what they are. Very sad experience.
Yes, Authy backs up data to their own server.
-
Multiple Devices - To make sure my codes won't be lost, then they should be available via multiple locations.
Yes, Authy can be used in many devices, and can track them in devices list.
-
Offline - To make sure I got my own copy on my hand, I need it works offline.
Yes, Authy has a local copy.
-
Acceptable by others - When you hear supported by Google Authenticator, it should work.
Yes, it supports standard TOTP.
Cons
- Don't know how to remove the code from iOS App
- There is a Default device in devices list, which is quite confusing.
- How to save backup codes? No solution given.
